64. Austin Chiang, MD MPH (Part 2) — Imposter Syndrome and Negativity on Social Media, The Path to Rebuild Trust Between Patients and Healthcare Provi...

“What would it be like if we had unbroken trust across healthcare? If patients had trust in what we do and if we had faith in what our patients are doing, how amazing would that be? I think that it would save us a lot of frustration, it would save patients a lot of frustration, and we would get things done. But that’s a perfect and ideal scenario and we can only strive for that. It's probably never gonna happen, but we strive to make it as much of a reality as we can.” - Austin Chiang, MD MPH

Welcome back to another episode of Discover More.

This week, we continue our conversation with Dr. Austin Chiang.

Austin (@austinchiangmd) is the Assistant Professor of Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals and serves as the Director of the Endoscopic Weight Loss Program and Chief Medical Social Media Officer for the Jefferson Health System.

In last week’s episode, Austin shared about his journey into medicine, as well as his mission of using social media to dispel misinformation and educate the public on the complexities of the healthcare system.

This was released last week as episode 62, and we recommend you start there before listening to part 2 of the interview this week.

In this week’s episode, we dive into some of the challenges that Austin faces as a content creator, including imposter and comparison syndrome, and he shares how he navigates these issues through gratitude and recovery.

Additionally, Austin explains the three most important qualities he looks for in advanced fellowship, potential hires, and future teammates.

We also discuss the relationship between trust and respect in the healthcare system, as well as the importance of gut health.

We hope you enjoy this week’s episode of Discover More, with us and Dr. Austin Chiang.
